Restaurant Club

I love restaurants and I love Thermomix so I run events to celebrate these two passions. Restaurant Club is a great night out in a top restaurant.

Diners enjoy excellent Thermomix food created by chefs in the company of fellow Thermo-fans (or the merely Thermo-curious). There’s the opportunity to hear the chef talk through their dishes and the Thermomix techniques used to create them. Diners go home with some exclusive recipes and a burning passion for Thermomix.

I did a pre-Christmas event with chef George Calombaris and chef Alex Xinis in the magnificent private dining room at Hellenic Republic. Great food, stellar hosts and lovely guests made it a night to remember.

For the second Thermomix Restaurant Club, 65 Thermo-fans enjoyed a five (well, actually seven) course meal at Canberra’s super cool Hotel Hotel. I brought Melbourne pastry chef Pierre Roelofs along and he teamed up with Sean McConnell to create a brilliant feast.

Oh, I just loved this night! We were hosted by owner Philip Johnson and his talented chef Simon Wright. As well as the food, Simon spoke so thoughtfully about the way he uses Thermomix in the restaurant. As you can see, people had lots of fun!
